Definitely still in its hidey hole

Well what can I say. I had missed this so many times I cannot believe my own stupidity. A great set of caches red_ear_slider. Thankyou.

Tried again today after a night of thinking, alas it still alludes me.

Looked and Looked but did not locate.

I cannot locate in the most likely hide, I'll be back.

Took us a little while but got there in the end. Found as the sun was setting. TFTC.

Visiting Forster for the weekend and awoke to a rainy overcast day. Staying close to the bridge so thought we would go and do a couple a caches. Found with robak65.SL TFTC

Spending the weekend in Forster staying nearby we went for a stroll in the rain.AussieCBRXX spotted the hide and it took a bit of effort to extract it.SL and returned to its position.TFTC

Found it with rex46

Sorry we forgot to bring a pen

Missed out on the southern one in this series (will return later) but this one was found fairly quickly. Not hard when you have an extra 4 geofriends in tow. TFTC

Easy when we saw the photo 3.7.24

Replaced log, back in its hiding spot

Took a bit of searching, but we managed to find it. hard to get it out.Great view. TFTC.

2nd time round toooo many muggles last time. Nice hide, log is saturated just fell to pieces when unraveling took photo to say I found.

After checking previous logs and a photo had an idea what we were looking for. Geoian found it, but the log is soaked. Geoian look a photo to show we did find it but unable to sogn. TFTC

Quick find at a magical time of day! TfTC and greetings from Orange!

Smallest cache Ive ever seen

So small!!!

Found with debbie2323

Found it with Coxy52, second attempt for this one, but got it in the end

After a long search found it not where I thought it would be but it is in a safe place. Thanks for the cache.

Had a look for this one in the dark last night with no luck. After the fog lifted this morning I had another look. But like a racer who always runs second I was again disappointed.

Took a while but got it

Nothing like a juddering bridge with traffic whizzing by for a cache search. Happy to find this one after looking everywhere but the right spot for too long. A great location with excellent views, TFTC red_ear_slider.

On the hunting trail DiMorgan & pprass on a caravan adventure. This one had us searching for a while. Another great day for caching. TFTC red_ear_slider

Found at 11:01 AM GAFF5, in the company of DiMorgan and Wollaston.Well that was tricky and very well rated btw! And also a good hint [^]We just couldn't get over what the passing traffic was thinking of seeing grown men scrutinizing a bridge barrier!Thanks to red_ear_slider

We are spending 2 nights at Forster, camped at the Sporties Club.We have been caching with pprass & Wollaston while here.There has been many new caches placed since we were last here, we have been to some great scenic locations while touring the area.Another cache that took some time to find. You have got the D rating correct here.Worth a FP this is a great walk accross the bridge & taking in the views of the river.Thanks red_ear_slider for hiding this cache.

Couldnt find after a while with the family Sadly a dnf

Just after logging the dnf, we found it. Great cache Tftc

Great spot. Tftc

Its hidden in a windy spot! thank you!

Found thanks! Took two attempts.

Today we ventured down to Forster-Tuncurry area as quite a few new caches have popped up within the last month or two. Nice walk along here, even with quite a few bicycles and scooters zooming past. Thought we identified where the cache would be but despite a lot of time fixated on that spot, we were left empty handed. Decided to search another spot a couple metres away and found it immediately :pThanks for the cache

This was a bit easier for us to find and continued on before not to long. Previous logs have us some hints.

TFTC very tricky to retrieve with all the NYE muggles

Once you pick the correct side of the path it gets easier! Ha ha

Oh yeah!!! Having another go today trying to change the blue faces into smileys, ?, happy tftc

Returned after failing on this one the day, After a few minutes the wife had the little cache in hand. As ever wondering how we missed it first time around?But who minds coming back, with views like these!Thanks for maintaining the cache

A trip to cache around the mid north coast of NSW via the southern tablelands. TFTC.Took a while to find this one. Looking on the wrong side but right type of hide.

Keeping the trend of not finding the little monster again spent quite a bit of time, a few peeps ask me if I lost something TFTC

Plan was for a picturesque walk alongside the stunningly clear blue waters of Forster, while finding some caches:Walk was Great, saw dolphins Massive schools of big rays....But the geocaching didn't work out as hoped!Had a long hunt for all three of the bridge caches, on our way and way back. We've both been caching for a while, there was even a photo of what we were looking for, However came up empty handed! 3-0 to the caches.Here for the week So may try again

What an awesome spot to place some nasty nano's !!!We have a love/hate relationship with these container types, but we loved these hides, we were trying to avoid the dolphin watching muggles as we searched here, this was well hidden, TFTC red_ear_slider, loved the dolphins !!!

Tftc quickly found

Checked the map today to plan my weekend and saw a couple of new FTF available close to home so of course I had to head straight out after work. (Even if it was looking pretty overcast) Lucky for us the rain held off and after a much longer search than it should have been this FTF was soon in our hands. Found with Lauries4. TFTC

FTF Found with Rach_Jean21 TFTC
